<p><em>¿It is a curse to be born a girl¿¿ </em></p><p>Take a peek into the diary of Panth (never enquire as to her given name), a young woman knocking on the gilded door of adult life and high society. But kicking up one¿s heels at the Caf¿e Paris does not come easily to a girl navigating:</p><p>1. Poverty (even the genteel kind), thanks to her papa¿s sad demise</p><p>2. A lack of any experience whatsoever with the opposite sex, of course not counting Freddie Spencer (and he wasn¿t that sort of experience, anyhow) 3. Multiple sisters with ideas, a grandmother with opinions and one recalcitrant sheep</p><p>Panth knows there is more for her out in the world ¿ it¿s 1924, for goodness¿ sake ¿ and that could include swoonsome American with excellent teeth, Buck Buchanan. The question is ¿ how in the name of Tatler is she to claim it?</p><p>A hilarious coming-of-age story for fans of <em>I Capture the Castle</em> and <em>Bridgerton</em>.
